Lt. Col. James Whalen with Cincinnati police, said Tensing has not yet spoken with police or given a statement. The officer has the right to wait up to 48 hours after any deadly incident to be questioned, Whalen said.

Whalen said CPD expects to speak with him within the next 24 hours.

Police said they canvassed the area for witnesses and were able to obtain videos of the incident.

Whalen said Tensing was wearing a body camera, and CPD has the footage. At least one nearby building had surveillance video, Whalen said, and police have also obtained that footage.

The footage is being witheld until police have a chance to interview Tensing.

According to Whalen, Dubose did not show a weapon that he was aware of, but Whalen pointed out that he had not yet spoke to Tensing to get his statement on the incident.

The news conference paused for a moment when a person who said he was from the neighborhood questioned Whalen and said the details of the event didn’t sound right. He questioned how a misdemeanor offense like not having a license plate on the front of your car could lead to a fatal shooting.

Whalen said the missing license plate was what prompted the car to be pulled over, but there were other acts that escalated the situation. Whalen stressed that the officer involved had not been questioned yet, and he did not want to speculate on the incident.

Tensing has more than five years' police experience, Goodrich said. Tensing has worked for UC police since April 2014.

He is currently on paid administrative leave, per policy, during the investigation.
